Ifri, the Leading French Think Tank on
International Questions
In 2013, Ifri was ranked 25th out of the 100 most influential think tanks in the world by the 2013 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report from the University of Pennsylvania. The report takes into account some 6,826 think-tanks in 182 countries. Founded in 1979 on the model of Anglo-Saxon think tanks , Ifri is the principal institution for independent research and debate in France, dedicated to the analysis of international questions and global governance. Ifri’s policy-oriented research strives to illuminate international events and put them into perspective. It is primarily useful for political and economic decision-makers as well as academics, opinion leaders, and civil society representatives. Ifri’s research interacts with issues in four major spheres: politics, business, academics and the media.
Analysis and Foresight Ifri’s research and debates center mainly on analysis and forecasting, with respect to European and international affairs, and use a multidisciplinary approach that takes local, national and global perspectives into consideration.  Ifri is composed of more than 30 permanent researchers (French and foreign) from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, who make up 14 research units based on: • regional subjects: Europe, Russia/NIS, Asia, United States, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, and the Middle East • crosscutting subjects: security and strategic affairs, energy, space, migration and citizenship
Ifri publishes its analyses in French, English, German and Russian. In 2013, its experts published more than 75 policy papers.
Structuring the Debate Ifri’s research is complemented by informal and non-partisan debates that facilitate the bringing-together of experts and decision-makers, private and public alike. In 2013, Ifri organized more than 100 conferences and debates in Paris and Brussels, 20 large international events in France and abroad, and numerous workshops and seminars. At its events, Ifri has hosted more than 120 high-level guests, among them heads of state and government officials, and a total of approximately 9,000 event participants.
Ifri Brussels, a European Network
Through its office in Brussels – open since March 2005 – Ifri has an active interface between Paris and the capital of the EU. Ifri’s mission is to enrich European debate and, through its multidisciplinary approach, cover all dimensions of international relations.
The Think Tank Dialogue, which was started in 2010 by Ifri Brussels along with Bertelsmann Stiftung and Agence Europe, annually brings together Brussels’s 11 most prestigious think-tanks. The fourth meeting, “Federalism or Fragmentation: Spelling out Europe’s F- word”, was hosted by José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, and Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council.

1 Sixth World Policy Conference
13-15 December 2013, Monaco
The sixth World Policy Conference (WPC) was held in Monaco from 13th to 15th December 2013. It brought together political and economic decision-makers, experts and opinion leaders to discuss current events and global governance, as it has done in the past years. The meetings opened with an introduction from Thierry de Montbrial,
followed by a speech by Albert II, Prince of Monaco, and Ali Babacan, Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey. Thirteen plenary sessions were devoted to discussing the challenges of global governance in areas including international finance, European integration, and the crises in the Middle East. Among the distinguished speakers were HRH Prince Turki Al Faisal (Chairman, Board of Directors, KFCRIS), Henri de Castries (CEO, Axa), Paul Hermelin (CEO, Capgemini) Mostafa Terrab (CEO, OCP), Pascal Lamy (Honorary President, Notre Europe), Élisabeth Guigou (Chair, Committee on Foreign Affairs, National Assembly), Bruno Lafont (CEO, Lafarge), Jin Roy Ryu (President, Poongsan), Titus Corlatean (Romanian Minister for Foreign Affairs), Didier Reynders (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and European Affairs of Belgium), and Itamar Rabinovich (President, Israel Institute).
The workshops focused on four major issues - Energy and Environment, Health and Emerging Risks, Food Security, and Finance – viewed from the perspective of global governance. The discussions were particularly constructive, with participants such as Christophe de Margerie (CEO, Total), Maria van der Hoeven (Executive Director, IEA), James D. Wolfensohn (President, World Bank), Christian Bréchot (Director General, Institut Pasteur), Mahama Zoungrana (Minister for Agriculture and Food Security of Burkina Faso), Marcos Jank (CEO, Brasil Foods), Jean-Claude Trichet (former President, European Central Bank) and Marek Belka (President, National Bank of Poland).
With distinguished guests including Herman Van Rompuy (European Council President), Carl Bildt (Swedish Foreign Minister), Hubert Vedrine (former French Foreign Affairs Minister), Laurent Fabius (French Foreign Affairs Minister), and Pauline Marois (Prime Minister of Quebec), lunch and dinner debates provided an opportunity for dialogue to continue on topics covered in other sessions and workshops, such as international finance and the futures of Europe and the Middle East. The sixth annual conference of the WPC, which maintained a very positive atmosphere, generated new insights in several areas, helping to create a clearer picture of the specific challenges posed to global governance today. The speakers and participants, coming from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities, demonstrated sincerity, moderation and openness. The success of this conference came from both its intellectual and human dimensions.
